Rumored for over a year>, Toyota's diminutive IQ will hit our shores early next year—as a Scion. This car is a packaging marvel, fitting four seats in a body shell that's just 10 feet long.

The IQ is a study in downsizing with everything specifically designed for its small size. A tiny 1.3-liter four cylinder rests close against the firewall and works the front wheels through a CVT transmission. To increase safety, Toyota somehow managed to fit 10 airbags in the IQ, including the the world's first rear-window curtain airbag. We've driven this car in Europe and found it to be surprisingly agile. The price will be critical to this car's success, which will be announced around the end of the year.
